JOHN MANN FULTZ, OF QUINCY, ILLINOIS, ASSIGNOR OF ONE-HALF TO JOSEPH D. LEVY,

OF SAME PLACE.

PORTABLE SHOWER-BATH.

FICATION' forming part of Letters Patent No. 249,145, dated November 1, 1881.

Application filed J une 11, 1881. (Model) together byribs or stays G H I J. The wire spring A B G is intended to be placed around the head, and is so made as to be easily adjustable to the head of any person using it. The wire spring D E F is intended to hold the sprinkler M, Fig. 2, which is connected with a tube through which water must pass, and is so made as to hold any size sprinkler it may be thought desirable to use.

The sprinkler M, Fig. 2, has a collar, N, which, together with the circumference of the larger end of the sprinkler, forms a groove that provides a convenient way of attaching it to the spring D E F, Fig. 1. Itis plain that the sprinkler M may be so attached to the spring D E F as to throw the water downward and immediately upon the head of the bather, or it may be placed so as to throw the water upward into the air, so that it will fall upon the operator and be more diffused.

The object of my invention is to furnish a portable shower-bath apparatus.

Attach one end of a flexible tube of convenient length to the sprinkler M and connect the other end with a water-faucet, then place the sprinkler M into the spring D E F, as in Fig. 1, and the device for a shower-bath is complete, and can be used wherever water-power is to be had, and where there is no waterpower the appliance can be used by means of a bulb-suction placed near the free end of the tube, so that it can be manipulated by the hands or feet, as the operator may find con venient.

Having thus described my invention, What I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is

1. The self-adjusting springs A B C and D E F, connected together by the ribs or stays G H I J, substantially as shown, for the purpose specified.

2. The sprinkler M, having the collar N, whereby said sprinkler M may be placed and retained in spring D E F, all substantially as specified, and for the purpose set forth.

JOHN MANN FULTZ.
